F9                                                            Bb9  Bb         Bb9  Bb-F/A
Candles burning glasses are chilled and soon she’ll be by
Gm          D6/G Gm7                        Bb/C       C/F       F         Eb/F
Hope and pray she’ll say that she’s willing to give us another try and I
 Bb9          C/Bb                            Am                   Dm         Bb        F/A     Gm   Bb/C
If all those plans I’ve made don’t melt the lady’s heart I’ll put on the old 45’s

Chorus

Bb/C                       C/F                                    C/D Dm
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old   times
Dm                   D6/G                 Gm                      Gm9  D6/G                 Eb     C
Maybe the old lines will sound new maybe she’ll lay    her head on my shoulder
C               C/F    F                    Cm       Eb/F              Bb9
Maybe old feelings will come through maybe we’ll start to cry and
C/Bb                   Am   A7          Dm
Wonder why we ever walked away
Bbm6/Db   C/F  F                                     Bbm6
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and
Bb     F/A  Gm Bb/C  C/F  F-C/D-Dm-F/G-Gm-Bb/C-C-Bb/C-C
Make her want   to     stay

It’s been too long since I’ve been her face light up
Bb9                          Bb-F/A  Gm9             D/G
When I come home               It’s been too many

Hours I’ve wasted staring at the phone sweet old songs I’m counting on you to
Am7                     Dm       Bb        F/A         Gm
Bring her back to me I’m tired of listening alone
